| A simple, conventional method | Jun 2, 2010 |
I convert a PPT file into PDF, then copy and paste all texts to a word file, and use word counter.

| | | | | how reliable is the wordcount in ppt 97-2003 | Jun 9, 2011 |
Mulyadi's suggestion did not work for me on a ppt 97-2003 document.
However, right-clicking on the icon of the closed document opens a "Properties" window and I have a wordcount in the Details tab.
In your experience, how reliable is this wordcount?
I suppose I will find out once I have finished my translation, but is there a way of telling beforehand?
Thank you all for your feedback.
Best regards,
Susanna

| ...what about Trados analysis counts? | Nov 4, 2011 |
Hi friends. Thanks to Ryan for his excellent post regarding PowerPoint word counts. I always suspected there was a huge discrepancy in the tool, but never for one moment imagined that punctuation was being included in the word counts...(!)
Until recently, I used to use the Trados analysis for my PowerPoint word counts, but I now suspect these counts are equally inaccurate.
From now on, I think I'll use PractiCount even though it takes a little longer - simply in terms ... See more Hi friends. Thanks to Ryan for his excellent post regarding PowerPoint word counts.

Until recently, I used to use the Trados analysis for my PowerPoint word counts, but I now suspect these counts are equally inaccurate.
From now on, I think I'll use PractiCount even though it takes a little longer - simply in terms of workflow.
Can anyone confirm, however, that the Trados analyses are indeed inaccurate or do they tend to be ok??
Thanx

| Shortcut in ppt is working | Nov 12, 2011 |
To mas Mulyadi Subali,
Thank you so much for the shortcut! It really works!
| | | | | Create a macro | Oct 31, 2012 |
You could create a macro that counts just words which the statistics don't do. The statistics also cound punctuation marks.
Here the code for the Macro:
count=Application.Activepresentation.Builtindocumentproperties.Item("Number of Words").value *All this is one line
Next line
Msgbox("The number of words is ") & count.
I hope this helps
